Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Whatever topics you're looking for in YA, there's a good chance they're actually being published. They're just being done by marginalized authors and you're not reading them. But the fewer people who read and promote those books, the less likely we are to see them again. Read more widely!

i love you beginner artists. i love you even if you're trying to learn art in your 60s. sharing your art can be scary if you are new to art and learning, but don't ever let mean people stop you.
your art is important and beautiful because it's yours. keep creating, now more than ever.

What Is Queer Generational Trauma, and How Do We Tell Stories About It?
Lately, I've been obsessing over the concept of queer generational trauma: the pain passed down to us from our ancestors, which we bequeath in turn to those who come after us.
